Cumbia Powa Riddim – Ubasha Bank

CUMBIA POWA RIDDIM produced by UBASHA BANK

Cumbia Powa Riddim leans hard into the crossover where dancehall meets cumbia and sound system culture, with UBASHA BANK keeping it loose, percussive and built for the dance. The set is packed with eight artists across nine cuts, and a couple of the liveliest moments come from Mexikan Sound System on “Lo Que Te Puedo Querer” and Jah Amplifire’s La Maquina Del Sonido on “Boom Bang! , ” both of them riding the rhythm with that street-party snap this kind of project lives on. Elsewhere, Natty Andread’s “Bella Mujer” and Revolution Sound System’s “Cumbia Reggae” keep the tune in that bilingual, border-crossing lane without losing the dancehall pulse. Released in 2013, it sits neatly in the wave of Latin-flavoured riddims that were finding their own space in the genre around that time.
